MailScanner Ignoring All Emails

[Quintin S. Giesbrecht]

Here are the scripts from /etc/systemd/system.... that systemctl enable ms-sendmail created - hopefully that makes sense...:

That doesn't sound like a good assumption to me (about the queue folders being correct).

If your listener process is putting received mail into the folder being monitored by the queue runner process, for example, MailScanner will be sitting waiting for emails to appear in another folder altogether, and mail will simply be delivered by the queue runner as soon as it's received.

1. I'm not sure I understand why you have two queue runner processes going, with different timings and monitoring different directories.

2. Which directory is the middle process (PID 17994) delivering into?
